Tomb Robber: I, Chen Yulou, am dedicated to cultivating immortality!

Chapter 90: The Secret Record of Moving Mountains: The Difference between Immortality and Taoism

Returned from Shijunshan yesterday.

Chen Yulou was still counting the time silently along the way.

After all, the agreed date is getting closer and closer, and there is no telling when the Partridge Whistle Brother and Sister will come.

For this reason, he also specially told Uncle Yu that if others were not at the village but went to the mountains or somewhere, let him first entertain them on his behalf.

Because he knew that Partridge Whistle was the most important person.

Whenever we make an agreement, we will never break our promise, even if we are thousands of miles apart.

If you make an appointment on the same day, it will be sooner rather than later.

But even he didn't expect that the three senior brothers and sisters would arrive so quickly.

You must know the original work.

Only once in his life did he break a promise.

When the two leaders of Moving Mountains and Unloading Ridges stole Pingshan Mountain together, they agreed to make a great oath.

Chen Yulou said that when brother Taoist goes to the tomb in the future, he should bring the Xiling bandits to help him. If he violates this, he will be blinded at night.

The partridge whistle also swore that as long as Brother Chen goes to the grave, he will do his best to help, otherwise he will become a cripple.

But just because of that collapse.

The underworld palace of General Yuan Ren appeared on the top of the mountain.

Partridge Whistle saw the mural about Muchen Bead, and then he went crazy.

It is concluded that the pill bead that the tribe has been seeking for thousands of years is buried under Heishui City.

Because of Pingshan's failure, Chen Yulou planned to go to southern Yunnan and fight vigorously to save the face of Xiling's boss.

However, it is said that it is difficult to reach the tomb of the king, so he wanted to invite Partridge Whistle to accompany him.

But having seen the murals, he only wanted to go to Mobei and find the legendary Blackwater City of Xixia.

The two parted unhappily.

This is a missed appointment.

Chen Yulou was blinded by poison in Bug Valley, and Partridge Whistle also lost an arm.

That was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Partridge Whistle was disheartened and went overseas.

But Chen Yulou believed that it was karma and became a fortune teller, hiding in the market.

Traveled through more than half a year.

Even he couldn't help but feel emotional every time he thought about this.

The Xiling robbers, who were looking for money, went to the tomb of King Xian where the Muchen Pearl was hidden.

But the leader who moved mountains just for the Danzhu went to Heishui City where there were countless gold and jade, but the Muchen Pearl was missing.

But to live a new life and step into the path of immortality is to change one's destiny against the will of heaven.

Pingshan and his party.

There should have been countless casualties. Guaizi, Kunlun, Hua Ling and the old foreigner all died and were buried in the mountains.

But now... they are all still alive.

Because of this, Chen Yulou became even more determined.

That is, destiny is not determined by fate, and people can also go against the trend.

"Yes, Brother Chen, long time no see."

In his absence.

Partridge Whistle also reacted, clasping his hands into fists, and said in a deep voice with a magnanimous expression.

"I've met Shopkeeper Chen."

"Botou Chen."

As soon as the senior brother opened his mouth, the Hua Ling and the old foreigners behind him also said hello one after another.

"Okay, let's go to the village, Kunlun, and talk to Uncle Yu."

"Yes, from the shopkeeper."

Chen Yulou dismissed the distracting thoughts in his mind, smiled, and turned back to remind Kunlun.

The Partridge Whistle on the side couldn't help but feel moved when he saw Kunlun's calm expression, clear eyes, and fluent answers.

"Brother Kunlun, are you... okay?"

The separation from Pingshan seemed to have taken a long time, but in fact it was less than a month.

It’s just that I’m on the road most of the time.

It will feel like it's been another year.

"I've met the leader, thank you for your concern."

"Thanks to the shopkeeper, I'm fine."

Seeing Partridge Whistle mentioning him, Kunlun didn't leave in a hurry, but turned back and smiled at him.

"Good good!"

"It's really gratifying that Brother Kunlun can break the golden rope and jade lock."

Seeing this, Partridge Whistle, who had always been silent and reserved, showed rare true feelings.

"Thank you, Chief Yang."

Kunlun scratched his head.

Although he is enlightened and psychic, he is still not very good at dealing with people.

Seeing his embarrassment, Chen Yulou immediately took over.

"Brother Yang, it's been a hard journey, why not go to Zhuangzi for a cup of tea first, and then talk slowly."

"It's all up to Brother Chen's arrangement."

So is Partridge Whistle.

In front of his junior brothers and sisters, he has always been accustomed to facing them with solemnity.

So sometimes when something happy happens, I don’t know how to express my feelings.

Kunlun is also out of pure appreciation.

Now that he has finally recovered, I can't help myself.

When Kunlun saw the shopkeeper opening his mouth, Kunlun grinned and turned around to leave without any further delay, taking the first step to find Uncle Yu.

"Brother Dao, please!"

Chen Yulou did not waste any time and made a gesture of invitation.

He led a few people through the gatehouse and strolled toward the inner city.

"The agreed date hasn't come yet, why didn't Brother Dao stay a few more days?"

Seeing that he was covered with dust, and there was even dew on his temples, and that he had been traveling all night, Chen Yulou couldn't help but ask.

"The current situation was chaotic. Yang was really worried that he would not be able to keep his appointment on time, so he had to leave early."

Partridge Whistle shook his head, looking a little helpless.

After living in the clan for less than a week, he took his junior brothers and sisters and set off early.

I am just afraid that I will encounter the same incident at Poyang Lake again on the road.

In recent years, he has been traveling deep in the mountains and forests in search of pearls.

There is almost no contact with the outside world.

Only when I went back this time did I realize that the mess outside was already like that.

Warlords are rampant, wars are raging, and there are refugees fleeing from disasters everywhere.

another one.

The clan land that used to be lively and familiar is now just overgrown with weeds and deserted.

The longer he stayed, it was like a dull knife cutting flesh, making him unable to sleep all night long.

Who would have imagined that in the middle of the night, he would walk back and forth in the old village alone, like a zombie without a soul. Sometimes he would not wake up from his memories until dawn.

Watching everything familiar turn into smoke and dust.

That kind of pain is hard to describe to anyone.

Hearing the sadness in his words, Chen Yulou didn't hesitate to ask more questions, but just changed his tone.

"I see that Taoist brother, the divine light is restrained and unified. I think a breakthrough in Qi harvesting is just around the corner."

From the moment we met.

He noticed the changes in Partridge Whistle.

Completely different from the past.

Him now.

Although his eyes were bloodshot and could not hide his fatigue, his eyes were clear and there was no longer the sense of decadence and twilight he had before.

Even the gray on my temples has improved a lot.

"Brother Chen is overly praised."

"It can't be that fast."

Hear this.

Partridge Whistle smiled and waved his hand.

However, there was humility in his words, but the gloom in his expression was obviously dissipated.

There are not many things in this world that he cares about.

Apart from clan members and ghost curses, there is only this practice matter.

Although Chen Yulou reminded him that going too far is not enough.

But he was suppressed by the ghost curse and touched by the scene in the village, so he didn't dare to waste a single second.

During this period, in addition to sleeping, I was breathing and practicing hard even when I was eating and going on the road.

And hard work pays off.

On the day he left Pingshan, he was able to cross the Xiaolong Gate and enter the Qi Refining Pass.

But a month passed.

Now, he has successfully collected Qi, and his old ailments have long been cured.

Even the ghost curse that could not be suppressed in the past and erupted faintly has been silent for a long time.

Of course, during this period, he also did not forget to give guidance to Hua Ling and the old foreigner.

Junior sister's talent is amazing.

We are almost reaching the threshold.

Although the old foreigners are slightly worse, they are also making progress visible to the naked eye.

"By the way, Brother Chen, I just have something to ask."

Speaking of practice, Partridge Whistle remembered something, and his expression showed seriousness. “Brother Dao, just say it directly.”

Chen Yulou smiled freely and told him to speak frankly.

"In this way of cultivation, Yang felt that the mountains were high and the road was far away, and it was difficult to see the end, so he looked through the ancient books left by the ancestors of Shanmen, and found something."

"According to what the predecessors said, after collecting Qi, you can nourish Qi, after nourishing Qi, you can refine Qi, and then you can build the foundation."

"But I still can't find the way to nourish my qi. Brother Chen, can you help me figure it out?"

Seeing this, Partridge Whistle was not pretentious and threw out all the problems encountered during this period of practice in one breath.

just.

After hearing these words, Chen Yulou couldn't help but frown.

Collect qi, nourish qi, refine qi, and then you can build the foundation?

Recorded in Aoki Gong.

It is obviously a five-level Qi refining pass, which involves collecting Qi, strengthening blood, internal refining, spiritual consciousness, and the five Qi towards the Yuan. Only then can you knock on the pass and cross the Great Dragon Gate.

It's quite different from what Partridge Whistle said.

"Brother Taoist, can you take a look at the ancient books left by the ancestors of Bishanmen?"

At this moment, Chen Yulou didn't care about avoiding taboos and asked directly.

"……certainly."

Seeing the surprise on his face, Partridge Whistle thought something was wrong, so he subconsciously took off the bamboo basket behind him, opened it, and pulled out a book wrapped in oil paper from the bottom.

He opened it carefully and then solemnly handed it to Chen Yulou.

I saw them talking in front.

Few people dared to disturb him.

Hua Ling and Miss Hong hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they held hands and talked about girls.

As for the old foreigner, he followed behind and looked at Chenjiazhuang curiously.

Hangzhou has been a prosperous place since ancient times.

But in his opinion, even Hangzhou seemed far less prosperous.

Especially those people who come and go, whether it is the banker or the Chen family's clerk, everyone is full of energy and full of vitality.

It's not like other places where every dish has food but no flair.

He was still marveling secretly.

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw the senior brother stop in the distance, took out another book and handed it to Chen Boutou.

Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but be startled.

That is the hard work of Taoist monks of all ages.

It's not just him.

Hua Ling also blinked, looking surprised.

"Go and have a look."

He saw her looking towards the shopkeeper.

The red girl simply pulled her over there.

"Secret Record of Moving Mountains?"

Chen Yulou held the book in his hands, glanced at a few words, and his heart couldn't help but move.

From this name, we can see the importance of this book to several people.

However, Partridge Whistle was worthy of his magnanimity, and he resisted the urge to turn the page. He just followed the prompts and turned directly to one of the pages.

"A cultivator should serve the sun in court and eat the moonlight at night."

"Collecting the energy of heaven and earth and cultivating it in the body is like a furnace of water and fire refining together to build a ridge and condense it into a golden elixir."

A quick glance.

Chen Yulou saw that line of writing instantly.

Exactly what Partridge Whistle said.

"Collect qi, nourish qi, refine qi, build foundation, golden elixir..."

"That's really true."

Frowning slightly, Chen Yulou murmured in a low voice.

According to what Taoist Master Banshan of the previous generation said, all ascetics in this world should be following this path.

It’s a slightly different path than Aoki Kochu’s.

But they reach the same destination by different routes.

They are all methods of breathing and exhaling.

"Brother Chen?"

Seeing that he fell into silence after reading the book, Partridge Whistle couldn't help but feel a little confused.

He was worried that he was on the wrong track.

It has taken a lot of effort to get to this point over the years. If something goes wrong, it will be extremely difficult to turn around.

"This……"

The three people who had already approached looked at each other in shock when they saw this situation.

Especially Hua Ling and the old foreigner. They had never seen their senior brother look so eclipsed. They didn't dare to ask, so they could only wait worriedly.

Fortunately.

Chen Yulou did not lose consciousness for too long.

Soon, all the fog in a pair of eyes dissipated, becoming clear and quiet again.

"Brother Chen, what's going on? Did something go wrong?"

Partridge Whistle didn't dare hesitate at all.

He asked immediately.

"Brother Dao, don't be anxious."

He looked worried and worried.

Only then did Chen Yulou react and couldn't help but shake his head.

"The path written in the book should be correct. As for why Brother Tao has been unable to reach the threshold of nourishing Qi, maybe you have misunderstood it."

"Understood wrong?"

Partridge Whistle was shocked.

The look in his eyes once again showed a desire for advice.

"Collecting Qi, guiding it, and moving it around the sky is actually the process of nourishing Qi."

"This is a process of continuous accumulation, rather than a specific journey. Just like a lone walker on the road at night, he just tells you that if you keep going forward, you will see the light."

"Brother Dao, do you understand what Chen means?"

Chen Yulou said calmly.

Several people on the side looked thoughtful.

The four of them happened to be the ones who went to the Danjing that day and obtained the Xuan Dao Convincing Qi Foundation Building Skill from the lacquer coffin.

Although apart from Partridge Whistle, he entered the Qi Refining Pass because he swallowed the Golden Pill.

Hua Ling, the old foreigner and the red girl have not crossed the dragon gate yet, but this does not affect their sudden feeling of enlightenment.

"Collecting qi, nourishing it, and refining it are actually the qi refining pass."

"When your practice is complete, you will naturally be able to open the door and build the foundation..."

Partridge Whistle's deep eyes twinkled.

Following Chen Yulou's words he said softly.

"Correct."

"Refining Qi and building foundation, these are the first two levels of Taoist practice."

Seeing him express his thoughts, Chen Yulou nodded heavily.

"I see……"

"Thank you, Brother Chen, for your advice!"

At this moment, the confusion in Partridge Whistle's eyes completely dissipated.

He finally understood.

It’s not that I took the wrong path.

Instead, it fell into a dead end.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel scared. Fortunately, he came to Chenjiazhuang earlier, otherwise he would have fallen deeper and deeper into trouble, and there would be no way out when he wanted to look back.

"Do you guys understand?"

Chen Yulou turned to look at Hua Ling and the others.

"I understand, thank you, Boss Chen."

Hua Ling nodded with a smile.

The eyes looking at Chen Yulou were full of admiration.

Along the way, the three brothers and sisters discussed it many times, but they were unable to find out the problem.

But Chen just glanced at it.

A few sentences, penetrating to the core.

Miss Hong seemed to understand, "I roughly understand it, but... I still have some questions about the details."

"That's okay."

"On the way to southern Yunnan, there will be plenty of time to answer questions."

“When practicing spiritual practice, you must not practice anything behind closed doors.”

Chen Yulou shook his head and smiled.

While speaking, he glanced at the old foreigner again, and the latter silently cupped his hand.

But the color in his eyes revealed his innermost feelings.

"Yes."

The group of four people suddenly became enlightened.

Chen Yulou did not waste any more time and led a few people along the long embankment by the lake to the Guanyun Tower in the inner city.

Not long after.

Wait until they enter the building.

Uncle Yu had already prepared morning tea.

"Brother Dao, and the old foreigner Hualing, it's been a hard journey. Chen will have tea instead of wine. Thank you three for coming all the way to help."
